Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

Hello all. I have been clean from alcohol for approximately 14 mo's. I still experience occasional anxiety attacks, feelings that things aren't quite well, fearful thoughts about health, irritability, changes in sleep patterns, mood swings, etc.. Although these symptoms have decreased considerably. I list just a few of the conditions that persist to give an idea of what I'm going through. What I would like to know does it ever get all the way better? Will my brain chemistry, "right", itself? Is there a return to normalcy? I have endured these conditions without any help from prescription or over the counter drugs so please don't recommend. Please inform.

These problems go from depression to anxiety attacks and Bipolar Disorder 1,2,3,and 4. Only a psychiatrist can determine if or what problems you may have.
Read up on various anxiety disorders which also include Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as well as Panic disorders. This may help you and make an appointment for some outside help if you need.
AA or sobriety is not a cure all for all kinds of diseases. It does help your life exponentally though.
Thanks
I'd like to ask how long your symptoms persisted?
I'm glad to hear that they have declined considerably, I'm just not in a position to say that they will eventually disappear completely, that's why I'm making this point.
Good Luck with whatever you do.
At 14 mos, ya probably need to see a pdoc, at least to get an opinion. Then decide about the meds. ((hugs)) Love & Light be w/You, Shellie
